Jerry McDonald, of ANG Newspapers, reports OL Seth Wand (Titans) was present at practice for the Oakland Raiders Wednesday, Nov. 21. A team spokesman was not aware if Wand is on the team's 53-man roster or practice squad.

Megan Manfull, writing for the Sporting News, reports Houston Texans OL Seth Wand is one option to fill the team's perennial void at left tackle. He has good size and athleticism, but his confidence is low after his poor 2005 season. It appears rookie OL Charles Spencer and OL Ephraim Salaam will push for playing time throughout training camp.

Megan Manfull, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans OT Seth Wand took all of the repetitions at left tackle with the first team during the team's organized team activities Tuesday, May 16. "If we went out and were trying to mold a left tackle in the draft, what we're looking for is a young man with that type of size and length that can run," head coach Gary Kubiak said. "He (Wand) would be a guy we would chisel out."

Nick Schenck, of HoustonTexans.com, reports Houston Texans OL Seth Wand believes his move to right guard won't be an extremely difficult transition, and will even help him become a more versatile lineman in the future. Wand will compete with OL Chad Beasley to see who starts at right guard with OG Zach Wiegert (ankle) sidelined with a high ankle sprain. "For me I just have to keep my head up, make sure I know all my rules, and just learn the technique for both those positions just so I can find a way to get on the field," Wand said.

Semaj Marsh, of HoustonTexans.com, reports Houston Texans OTs Seth Wand and Victor Riley have been splitting reps at left tackle with the first-team offense thus far during training camp. The battle between Wand and Riley for the vacant left tackle job will be one of the most fiercely contested position fights of the summer. "We see it as a competitive situation," head coach Dom Capers said. "We'll continue to monitor it through our practices and the preseason games, and at some point and time we'll make a decision. One thing I do know is that we're stronger at that position than we were a year ago."

Kris Krikes, of HoustonTexans.com, reports the Houston Texans' training camp battle for the vacant starting left tackle job appears to be a two-man race between OTs Seth Wand and Victor Riley. "We've got great competition between Seth and Victor," offensive line coach Steve Marshall said. "And maybe even somebody else before it's over with. We're looking at everything at this point."

HoustonTexans.com reports Houston Texans head coach Dom Capers said OTs Seth Wand and Victor Riley will be competing for the starting job at left tackle during training camp. "For me to stand here and tell you who our starting left tackle will be, I could not tell you but its hard many times to evaluate your line without pads on. We were not able to have one-on-one pass rushing drills and those types of things in the spring. I thought we made a lot of strides in our footwork and I think our line really understands what we are doing in the scheme now, and I thought it has looked the best it looked during the spring. It is a whole different element when you get out, put the pads on, and you are rushing the passer. We cannot give you a specific time when we say this is our starting line up, but we will have a plan working towards that," said Capers.

Associated Press reports Houston Texans ORT Victor Riley will probably move to offensive left tackle and compete with OT Seth Wand for the starting job. The team was critical of Riley during their minicamp for being too heavy and out of shape.
